Hello,
Recently, I've been working on small prototype for a monster collecting RPG game like Pokemon or Dragon Quest Monsters and I'm looking for some people who would want to work on the project with me. I'm planning on finishing the prototype by the end of March/April and then hoping to do an early access release by the end of the year, and a full release by the end of 2024. This will be a revshare if the game launches.
About me:
I work as a senior software engineer at a AAA game studio and have also worked as a level designer in the past. I've worked on 8 games.
About the project:
It's easiest to call it a Pokemon clone, but I have other ideas to build on top of the Pokemon formula like a job system to have players have other goals besides collecting badges and fighting. It's made in Unity and aiming for a SNES/GameBoy Advance aesthetic but I currently using art I bought on twitch.
Looking for:
2D Artist: I want to use tilesets for the locations in the game, so experience making them would be a plus, but not necessary. This person will be responsible for all of the art for the environments, characters and monsters. So you can take the lead on the art style if you want. I'm open to more than one person helping out as an artist.
Needed in the future:
I'm not currently needing help on these parts of the game, but if you are interested in helping out, feel free to reach out. I'll need help with these eventually and don't mind someone joining now if they are okay with only a little bit of work/time to contribute.
Game Designer:Someone to work on the monster designs, story/quests and help balance the stats/combat.
Programmer:
Someone to help out with programming tasks after the prototype. I'll handle most of the critical systems before the prototype is finished so this person would be working mostly on new features for the game, mission/level scripting, UI and anything else that comes up. C#/Unity experience is nice, but not necessary. If you are completely new to programming, it is also fine to join and I can help you learn.
Audio:
Hoping to find someone who is interested in making music like the older systems mentioned above.
